Summer/Winter

[Yvone Ao]

I've lived in Florida all my life, and when I get the chance to go to China for vacation, the one thing I hope is that the vacation is during the winter. I miss the snow, the festivals, and the food during the winter time because it's so different from the summer. I miss the way the snow flakes drift down from the sky and land on your tougne, then suddenly turns into a drop of water because of the heat of your tougne.
In Florida, many people can "make" their own winter by doing things they know they can to make it seem a little more "winery." If it were me, I'd turn the AC down to 60 degrees Fahrenheit, grab a few friends, pop in a Disney movie, and share some hot chocolate with marshmellows floating in the top then watch them slowly sink to the bottom as they absorb the liquid love.
I believe, even if we live in Florida and it isn't as cold as we'd like it to be, we can still make it seem as chilly as we want to with a little creativity, some work, and a few friends.
